Hi everyone,

quick question. If I worked part time for a year and a half in NOC 0 during my Bachelors OUTSIDE of Canada, could I claim points for that experience “pro-rated” to its full time equivalent?

i.e. if I worked 18 months at 15 hours a week, could I claim 9 months full time equivalent?

Thanks!

Can't speak for CEC, but I got an ITA and applied with NOC 4012 (FSW Outland). I'm in a full time PhD program outside of Canada and have been working part-time as a TA while being registered as a full time student. My university issued an employment letter stating my average hours and duties. I haven't received PPR yet so I can't be sure, but I hope it's all good!

Hi,
I had completed my bachelors in computer science from 2015 to 2019 (4 year course) and had foreign work experience from 2018 to 2020 (2 years).

Foreign Work Experience =
NOC Code = 2283

Period = 2018-2019
Paid
Continuous
Full time (30+ hours/week)

Period = 2019-2020
Paid
Continuous
Full time (30+ hours/week)

Employment Requirements for NOC 2283 are=
  • Completion of a college program in computer science, computer programming or network administration is usually required.
  • College or other courses in computer programming or network administration are usually required.
  • Certification or training provided by software vendors may be required by some employers.

As per my Bachelor's Marksheet, It is mentioned that from 2018-2019 I am doing "CO-OPT TRAINING MODULE".

It is also mentioned on cic website that student work experience under FSW should count if,
- was paid by wages or commissions
- was continuous (no gaps in employment), and
- meets all the other requirements of the Program
Also, mentioned that this includes "This includes co-op terms and apprenticeships"


Can you please look into this and let me know that my work experience from 2018-2019 will count or not?

No, as long as it is paid and you are able to prove it, Its's fine.

How do we prove the payment? Is a letter from the supervisor of the annual salary good enough? Do I have to submit payment cheques (that would be challenging since my employment ended in 2018 and I don’t have the cheques)?
